The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world,composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi). The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. The Great Barrier Reef supports a wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.CNN has labelled it one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. The Queensland National Trust has named it a state icon of Queensland.
A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as overfishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures to the reef and its ecosystem include water quality from runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish.

Groundhog Day
This my firt time for review a movie in english.The movie that I choosed for is Groundhog Day (FYI : Groundhog is mean .... A reddish brown North American burrowing marmot ({Marmotamonax}), also called the {woodchuck}. It hibernates in the winter.......).Groundhog Day is a hollywood romantic-comedy movie this movie fisrt appeareance in 1993 play by Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell .the story is about Bill Murray as Phil Connors a whether reporter and Annie as Rita a producer they have to shoot a special report at pensyvania which have a Groundhog Day festival.
The plot is Phil Connors have to make a special report about Groundhog Day but unexpected after he finish a special report during get back to home the blizzard suddenly pounded so the roar has been close by the police.Phil have to stay that unavoidably but unexpected again Phil get up in the morning but the day is the same day as yesterday at first he think it was a joke but it's not.As day by day at 6.00 a.m. the day will return to the Groundhog Day so Phil have known well a lot about the town and has been improved his ability everyday to win Rita.The technique that they shoot was very interested,the plot also.The ended of the story is not so good but acceptable and Bill performs Great! it seems real and ask the audiece to help him.
So i give 4/5 for Groundhog Day as the strage how there shoot and Bill Murray performs

On 6-7 December 2008. T have a chance to get involve with EF(Education First) english camp name "English On Screen 2008". In this camp we have to see two movies. High school Musical and Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone without any subtitled and sure that soundtrack. On the first day Christopher Wright is a guest who come to talk about how to learn english from movie.I like this camp it's so fun and friendly. Especially on lunch time we have two hamburgers,coke and milk for free!. The major thing is scholarship to learning in London that have only 10 people to get that.If they are organize this camp again I'll register to a camp suddenly.
Last week I've talk about boyband "Chaliang".Now in this week I prefer to talk about solo artist his name is Su Boonliang one of the "Chaliang". Why? because i like his sound it so mildly.Even if i don't choose topic "It's Retrospective songs time !!!".I would selected Su Boonliang anyway.At the present time Su Boonliang still singing.The most popular of Su Boonliang I think it would be "Kae Me (แค่มี)". DTAC selected this songs for there commercial recently.Now he has his own company name "Katikala".
Su Boonling was born in 1962 on 4 october. His hometown is Koh Samui,Suratthani . First appearance in "Chaliang" . He also a author too write some pocket books. He sometimes has a concert 4 - 5 times a year.I've already been there once on 28 November 2008 at Museum Siam nearly Wat Rajabopit School.
Sorry about my grammatical errors .
